Tunisia's Ons Jabeur became the first African player to win a WTA 1000 event when he won the Madrid Open.
The world number 10 was down 4-1 in the first set and failed to win a game in the second, but still beat the American in two sets.
She won the title last year.
She was the first Arab player to break into the top 10.
The world number 12 had to save four break points in her first two service games before she was able to break for the first time.
The Tunisia struck back in the seventh game, finding her range on the return and was soon on level terms with the other team.
After facing a set point in an error-strewn 10th game, Jabeur weathered the storm to hold, then broke Pegula to love using a signature drop-shot return and closed out the set on the 54-minute mark.
At the start of the second set, she was in trouble, but she was 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217
The first three games of the decider were against serve, but after a break in the fourth game, she took the win and dropped to her knees.
